The Burbage Sketchley and Stretton ward sits on the southern edge of the Hinckley and Bosworth district in Leicestershire, England, taking in the large village of Burbage and the neighbouring Sketchley and Stretton areas. It blends suburban housing with pockets of countryside and green belt, and benefits from good road links to nearby Hinckley, Leicester and Coventry.
Locally there is a mix of agricultural and small-scale industrial history alongside a modern commuter population; the community is served by parish halls, sports clubs, village pubs and local shops, and retains a village feel through active residents’ groups and annual events. Older churches and buildings hint at the area’s past while light industry and retail in the surrounding towns help support the local economy.
